Garbolino Addiction Feeder Super Distance Rod

Description

The Garbolino Addiction Feeder Super Distance 13ft is a three-section feeder rod built for long-range work on large natural venues and powerful river systems. It is designed to hit distances of 70m and beyond without forcing the cast, making it a dedicated casting tool when fish are sitting at the limit of conventional gear or when a headwind is blowing straight into your face. Despite that power, the rod stays agile thanks to slimline, lightweight IM Carbon blanks. The three-section layout makes transport easier while keeping a reinforced backbone capable of launching heavy, fully loaded feeders with accuracy. A mixed Cork and EVA handle provides the extended leverage needed for high-torque casting, and a tubular reel seat keeps the reel solid during the cast. Bite detection at extreme range is handled by the supplied DISTANCEFLEX EXTREME 3.5mm tips, the beefiest in the Addiction range. They are built to cope with large shock-leader knots and the pull of fast-moving water without losing bite indication. As elsewhere in the range, the power rating is marked on the base of each tip and the painted ends stay visible against grey skies or white-capped water. Where to use: - Extreme distance stillwaters: for reaching the 70m to 100m marks on large reservoirs where bream shoals feel safe. - Powerful, fast-flowing rivers: suited to the Tidal Trent, the Wye or the Severn when holding heavy 100g+ feeders in the flow for barbel and big bream. - Adverse weather casting: when a standard distance rod would fold in a headwind, the Super Distance has the recovery speed to punch through. - Large method feeder work: for launching heavy method feeders to distant islands on big water commercials. - Length: 13ft (3.90m) - Casting Weight: Up to 150g+ - Sections: 3 Sections (High-performance power transfer) - Blank Material: Slimline High-Modulus (IM) Carbon - Tips Included: Additional DISTANCEFLEX EXTREME 3.5mm Tips - Tip Details: Painted ends / Power rating marked on base - Handle: Extended Mixed Cork and EVA for Maximum Leverage - Components: Heavy-Duty Guides and Tubular Reel Seat - Storage: Supplied in a dedicated Canvas Case When fishing at super distance, reel choice matters: a big pit style reel with a large, tapered spool lets line peel off with minimal resistance, which helps when targeting 80m+ spots. Because a heavy shock leader is likely, keep the leader knot neat and tapered so it passes cleanly through the 3.5mm guides on the way out.
